In addition... 1. I would have liked more modeling; i.e., a less flat, frontal light 2.. I would have prefered some background; i.e., more ambient light, less flash. I can't tell for sure but it appears in some areas that the backgound has been painted out. |

The sharp edges seem to have a granular sharpening artifact and there is no real detail in the feathers, the eyes, etc. It's almost like the view you get when you use focus peaking in an EVF. I posted a low quality JPEG. -- PeterN |

Thank you I see nothing unusual in the EXIF data other than the flash firing. What flash did you use? SB800 I believe all of my issues with this image lie with post processing and what are artifacts introduced by either by over-sharpening, or issues related to cropping and resizing. I suspect that you cropped to your presentation size, or resized after the crop. Both There is introduced noise in the irises and the tips of the feathers which look over-sharpened especially around the eyes and beak. I did not see the noise, but I did over sharpen, more than I intended. There are some artifacts introduced by using a low quality JPEG. I think you might have had a more satisfying result with a different treatment. Yep! I think you can guess my next request. ;-) Check your email. -- PeterN |

Perhaps not quite as sharply defined as one might like -- it's hard to tell with such a small image -- but I guess sharp definition might be difficult. It's like taking a picture of a snow drift. The book says overexpose white. If I do that feather detail ios lost. This image I under exposed .7 and underexopsed the flash by 1.3 -- PeterN |

Thumbnail? Did not see one. Neither did I. The link posted took me straight to a normal websized image. Yup! Agree with Duck that there may be artifacting due to sharpening or resizing. That is my opinion. I suspect Peter is using one of his personal "artistic" post procressing procedures. Nope. Part error, part due to resizing using an inappropriate algorithm, and posting a very low quality JPEG. It is quite possible to get reasonably defined plumage without artifacts, even from a D300. https://db.tt/69cZXLUi To my repolished eye, the white detail in the feathers are blown out, and I would have tone down the background. The oof specular highlights lead me away from the bird. -- PeterN |
